Question about joining the Beta

Its not, its just me, but I knew that would get your attention.

Anyway is there some sort of beta I can play while at work?

Re: God its a girl!

I probably will do. But I promise I'll give a big list of reasons why I quit - and hence constructively improve planetarion. Thats what beta is about after all or is it only about ship stats? dunno, always just treated them as speed rounds in the past.

I wasnt too clear here, I can't actually get on irc :crymeariver: however I can be active on the forums which is but I just want to pass the time and test. Plus if people have issues with me attacking etc they can pm me on the forums <3

So ya can someone pm the link to beta so I can destroy some spaceships and shit. Although the link may be blocked, so this thread could be comically useless.

Its to find bugs in the new code and testing stats.
And your last remark is the reason I think your not in closed beta , it's NOT a speedround

Its a closed beta atm with username/password on the pages so it's no use to ask for the url atm.

Once your on IRC I think PMing a PA team member might help a lot they can add you to beta if needed.

The Beta is invite only.

Asking to join is a good way to not get in.

There is actually a private alliance channel where two reps from every alliance and the PA Team are together. The people in this channel were invited by Marv.

Yeah it's way better just to use those who don't really have any wish to contribute and just get contacted halfarse their betaplaying instead. Seems like a great system if you ask me!

(But then you didn't, so it's okay)

Re: Question about joining the Beta

the beta was made invite only due to the abuse which occured last round, by which i mean people treating it as a free speedgame and not using it to find the coding bugs etc.

well if ppl treat it as a free speedo and play "for real" you get a better stress test of the stats. finding bugs? yeah right, in what code?

you guys are boring ppl producing boring stats, no wonder pa dies :/

You obviously dont have a clue as to what you are talking about. If you happen to achieve enlightenment and attain something along the lines of 'creative development', may i direct you to the Suggestions Forum. This is where ideas can be outlined, explored, developed into a form worthy of implementation, rather than some ad hoc basis through a beta.

Betas are for two things; making sure stuff that *has* changed this round is coded correctly and thus works first time, every time, and to see how much appoco has buggered stuff up (<3). It has a secondary objective, imo a more distant second, of highlighting major flaws in the Ship Stats - however properly done ship stats wouldnt display any major flaws in a speed-like environment anyway.

I've just kinda addressed this, but alas your additional comment has done nothing in my eyes except highlight you as a moron. Finding bugs in the code is the #1 priority of beta testers. Or at least, should be. That involves clicking every link, pushing every button, inserting every number or symbol into every box. doing everything that actually *can* be done in the game, just to see if anything breaks. Particular attention, obviously, should be placed on the areas that change between rounds. If people who were beta testers actually did this more often, then flaws in the code such as ordering -ve numbers or fractions of a ship would result in breaking the game, would have been detected during the beta stage and NOT through the middle of a round. Obviously, people who are willing to do this sort of testing, rather than "winning" the beta, are desireable - and those who have shown or seem to show this willingness will be accepted into the programme.

Having said that, i personally believe that there is *some* scope for testing the game in the same fashion as it would during a normal round - eg, to "win" - however, this shouldnt be the point, as if everyone tried to win then only the course(s) of action that are most obviously going to achieve victory will be tested; eg researching Roids #1 is going to be tested more than researching PDS as #1. etc.

If you want to whinge about the stats, then build some of your own. Post them on the Strategy forum, and if/when i get the time, i will explore them with an open mind. The more holes your stats have, though, the more likely i am to think you are a moron (if that were possible, given your posts in this thread already).

done! the stats being used are infinitely tedious and so on the pateam are idiots and shit people afraid of change etc etc
(note this is not due to them not using my stats but due to not even IMPROVING THE GAME IN ANY WAY with regards to the stats as they are still as linear and ****ing bland as the past 2 years or so)

jerome et all...if you want to berate the team again because they are not using your stats, please use the other threads you have started. This thread is about the beta and its testers, please stick on topic and not ruin a thread (bar 1 or 2 comments) which has stayed relevant and civil

can i ask what your basis is for that comment? Everyday the people in the support team answer questions and queries to the best of their abilities and knowledge. If they dont know an answer or cant assist due to it not actually being a support issue then they refer to someone who can help.

For you to jump to a conclusion like you have robban is, tbh, offensive to all the people who give up their free time to help members of the community enjoy the game.

I don't see your name on the list of people coming forward and help out.

I don't see your name on the beta list.

You always seem happy to complain about what you are not involved with or not trying to help out in yourself. Intresting that isn't it.

Re: Question about joining the Beta

propaganda?!?

ok then question: how do you choose who plays betas?

this isn't meant to be flammatory i was just curious, when i was in there i felt more argumentative and honest people needed their presence too instead of seemingly yes-men, thanks to myk for initially getting me in there though!

Re: Question about joining the Beta

Invite to beta is at the behest of the development team. If someone is suggested to them by a member of the pa group or a beta tester then 2nd and 3rd opinions on said nominee are obtained b4 a decision is made.

Please note that this is for this round, and for future rounds the decision process most likely will be different.

Again with this inconsistency.. I'd like for once to see a Pa team with some actual consistency instead of this wobbly attitude.

Re: Question about joining the Beta

Actually kargool it is like this because of the abuse of the beta testing last round, and as far as i have been made aware making beta an invite only issue was a recent decision.
By next beta fixed criteria will hopefully be met and a consistent approach to testing will be attained

Re: Question about joining the Beta

The planetarion hierarchy is going down the same line as the english government is - full of liberal pansies that think what they're doing is the right morale/ethical choice (eg, banning funny, but rude, gal pics). When in fact all they're doing is ruining the country / pa We need more Enoch Powells in this world.

Banning funny and rude gal pics? Now forgive me if im wrong, but look back in PA history. Did you see LDK, ViruS, Legion, Fury and all the other great alliances with some of the best graphics i have ever saw have to resort to funny but rude gal pics? Instead they sat down and of course used there skills to create some great banners. Seems this 'new' community cant do that these days.

So personaly i dont see that as a good example. If the community think thats better having rude pics, compared to the old skool days then perhaps these rules are needed. But anyway thats going off topic there a little bit just wanted to make my point.

Re: Question about joining the Beta

Those gal pics were awesome, graphically. But then what would you rather watch on tv? the simpsons or a documentary on the louvre?

And besides, you really claiming that "funny, rude" gal pics weren't about pre-r9? of course they were. Just not by the top galaxies/players (there is more to the planetarion playerbase than those simply in the top alliances incase you didn't know). Would spinner and co ever have banned them? no.

Anyhow, I added that as one of very many examples since it was the easiest to mention - and best protrays, in my opinion, the evergrowing shitness in the pa hierarchy.

Newt dude - look at your signature and then enter the conversation blaming PA team for trying to control/limit who has access in the beta

It's always been like this - the beta starts off with very few numbers and as the round approaches more people are allowed in, so that bugs etc can be ironed it.

The problem simply is that PA players are competitive, even in betas. So won't be looking to fix the problems or report them. More often than not, they'll exploit them and then the team will have to find out what happened.

THAT'S why they want to control who has access and who doesn't. Because there are too many morons around who can't win normal rounds, so treat betas as speedrounds

Re: Question about joining the Beta

huh? this thread is about betas? oops. Does anyone really give a damn about those? :s And I only abused the beta that time because Mitre said it'd be the last time he'd ever 'play' - so I thought "oh shit, I'd better better beat him for once". And tbfh, it takes skill to run 3 accounts in 1min ticks


You misspelt skill dude
